I see/hear a lot of talk of Mbappe, but I'm yet to see anything from him to make me consider him at the same level as CR7 or Messi (In their prime).

When I think of great footballers, and his name mentioned amongst them, I can't help but raise an eyebrow.

Great footballers such as the aforementioned CR7 & Messi, along with - Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho, van Basten & Cruyff.

As we start to exit "The Messi/Ronaldo era" I think people are going to need to recalibrate their expectations of an elite player. Those two are aberrations.

Constituting entirely of animated sand salt i liked the mental image...

That's fine by me, actually i also think City can overcome this, I'm pretty surprised they didn't do better in this leg to be honest.. Either way you guys have a good shot.

The goal will distract from it but Ronaldo was poor overal today.

Him not running onto a pass because he’s stopped to throw a strop only for Cavani to run over, press and win the ball speaks to the difference between the two.

I think they need to change their tactics with racism.

How did they teach kids to deal with bullies and gobshites? Ignore them.

So by kneeling, putting adverts out and all the other stuff they have going on, is just putting a spotlight on racism. Maybe its best to just ignore it and wait for the morons to get bored since its not having any affect/impact or making the media headlines.

The whole team was poor. That midfield is non-existent. McTominnay always hiding.

It was a product of what options they had and how much money they had, and of course him being desperate to coach them (he ditched his own country NT job right before a major tournament and payed out of his own pocket just to join Barcelona).

Bonucci on Ronaldo: “Training with him gave us something extra but subconsciously players started to think his presence alone was enough to win games. We began to fall a little short in our daily work, the desire to be there for your teammates...Over the last few years, I think you could see that.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is so dominant that his former teammates got lazy and expected him to single-handedly win them games

"Players started to think his presence alone was enough to win games," said defender Leonardo Bonucci.

How much Manchester City is paying?
Barcelona are desperate for money so I can see why they would take the deal.
